Antonine boss Alan Smiillie said: "These fantastic new additions to the Mall show after a very challenging period that retail is resilient and this is really positive news for both the Antonine and Cumbernauld.

"We now have one empty unit left that has also had a lot of interest and will hopefully be let soon.”
